TV-Review: Futurama Season 12 #9 – The Futurama Mystery Liberry
The penultimate episode of this year’s Futurama half-season brings us the traditional Anthology-style episode, a trio of non-canon stories in different styles. This time it’s centered around books and reading and so The Futurama Mystery Liberry is presented by none other than LeVar Burton – not necessarily in his Star Trek persona, but as the long time real-life host of Reading Rainbow, the PBS children’s book show. Written by newcomer Jeanette Lim and Futurama veterans David X. Cohen and Patric Verrone, this is one of the most fun episodes of the season. While two of the parodied book series are largely unknown in Europe, they are still fun to watch and sucessfully combine a nostalgic feeling with a little science-fiction.
